Welcome Spring

It was the perfect way to celebrate the Spring Equinox, as well as a fine way to end winter blues week. And now you get to see what this wood pile was all about!

The wildlife sanctuary usually has a bonfire to mark the Winter Solstice, but this year it was canceled because of weather. The girls and I made our own fire in the yard that night, but the wildlife sanctuary was left with a big pile of wood that had to get burned sometime.

Tonight was the night. And what a beautiful sight it was.



just getting started
Unlike the Winter Solstice bonfire, it was still light out when this one started tonight.



fire against such a pretty blue



a fire spirit reaches out



fire as tall as the trees



fire still burning as we head home





Happy Spring.
Peace.
